tocha Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 The rules are not crazy- 3 riders in Euro`s who ride Elite- Kasprzak, Andersen and Kylmakorpi. bit more forsight by the fixture planners( and Coventry) could have avoided this clash. This fixture was arranged last January. KK's qualifying round for the Euro finals did not take place until May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedibee Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 as long as you get to see some decent speedway ( says that with tongue firmly in cheek ,considering the venue ) , what does it matter ,neither team has a snowballs of the playoffs ,so the result is pretty much Immaterial 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 I'll be happy if the racing is half as good as last night. It confirmed my opinion that Speedway riders are all mad because there was some pretty scary stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney the robin Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Then Coventry shouldn't agree to the fixture!Is winning all you worry about "lisa? for me tonight is a rip off to the public.I dont care that much who wins speedway is a ENTERTAINMENT that always comes first in my book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have been avoided, the rules aren't the problem (for once!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have been avoided, the rules aren't the problem (for once!) How was Horton meant to know? The EL fixture are usually in place just after Xmas whilst the qualifiers for the SEC don't even start until April. I can see why Leicester wouldn't want fixture moved. However can see it affecting the attendance and the excitement of the meeting. The rules however could be a big help for Lakeside as they are due to race us home & away with no KK or facility so will be 7pts towards their play off push which puts pressure on Swindon and Poole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 This fixture was arranged last January. KK's qualifying round for the Euro finals did not take place until May.Why agree to a date that there was a chance one of your guys could be missing? Or did we just assume KK would have a bad season and not make the Euros? It's poor planning, nothing else. The rules are fine but the Coventrys managements inability to plan anything is the problem here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bees_Man Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Probably didn't even know there was a euro championships! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Sorry how does this put pressure on Poole? As Wolves have more home meetings to come whilst Poole need points away and haven't been very good so far away from home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoombdog Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 In my mind there is no doubt Coventry would have won the league and gained a 5 year lease if Garrity had been fit all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Good win for the Lions, think they would have won even with the Bees enigmatic Pole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) Congratulations to Leicester on the win. Klindt has been very impressive I would take a 11point loss without our number 1 and with his replacement scoring zero. To be honest I expected to lose by more esp when King also had a poor night and Sarj hating this track. The positive of the night was Garrity. Only 1 point dropped to an opposing rider all night. Brilliant to score 16 in the main body of the team, esp after coming back from being out a while with a broken arm. Great to have him back 👍🏻 Edited August 6, 2016 by mdmc82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 We've got the crazy situation where Cov can't have a facility for KK because SEC is not recognised by the BSPA yet the ref at tonight's SEC was British!!! You couldn't make it up 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny bee firefly Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Some decent racing towards the back end of the meeting ! Best ive seen garrity ride especially his battle with wozniak in heat 15 !! Shame we were denied a terrific finish without bees no1 rider !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bump Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Some decent racing towards the back end of the meeting ! Best ive seen garrity ride especially his battle with wozniak in heat 15 !! Shame we were denied a terrific finish without bees no1 rider !! Was some good racing. Good crowd too. Shame no Kasprzak as he's great round Beaumont Park. Top effort from both sets of riders despite the meeting not having much riding on it. Just hope the Lions promotion get their act together so we can do it all over again next year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 As Wolves have more home meetings to come whilst Poole need points away and haven't been very good so far away from home.So you think theres a chance Poole won't make the playoffs?Lol! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 (edited) At least Horton didnt have a hissy fit about it when riders are missing and hasnt moaned at the host club for not changing the date onto an off race night. Think he knows it's an error on his part agreeing to this date. Edited August 7, 2016 by woz01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
